I'd hoped to release the first version of virtio guest drivers with
kvm-60, but that is delayed, and enough changes have accumulated. Most
notable is virtio host support and Vista x64 on AMD hosts.
Changes from kvm-59:
- fix compilation with older kernels (Andi Kleen)
- virtio host support (Anthony Liguori, Dor Laor)
- includes block and network devices
- fix power management timer overflow handling
- fix qemu running with older kernels
- boot from scsi/virtio (Anthony Liguori)
- add 1280x800 resolution to -std-vga
- fix acpi sci interrupt generation
- compile fixes (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon)
- update ide cdrom to match qemu (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon)
- fix extboot on older gcc (Christian Ehrhardt)
- powerpc dcr tests (Christian Ehrhardt)
- rtl8139 is now the default nic type (Guido Guenther)
- acpi power button support (Guido Guenther)
- powerpc testsuite harness (Hollis Blanchard)
- powerpc libkvm support (Jerone Young)
- bump piix4 to rev 3 to avoid slowdown reading pm timer (Marcelo Tosatti)
- migration updates (Uri Lublin)
- ia64 smp support in qemu (Xiantao Zhang)
- fix acpi vapic page on save/restore
- move x86 fpu to x86 specific header (Christian Ehrhardt)
- minor shadow code simplification(Eddie Dong)
- optimize pae pte updates (Eddie Dong, Eric Liu)
- simplify shadow hash table indexing (Eddie Dong)
- kvm_para.h compile fix (Glauber de Oliveira Costa)
- dirty page tracking fix (Izik Eidus)
- fix svm lazy fpu switching (Joerg Roedel)
- fixes Vista x64 on AMD
- only allow vmcall/vmmcall on #UD traps (Sheng Yang)
Notes:
If you use the modules bundled with kvm-60, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.17 upwards.
If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use
kvm-12.
If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use
kvm-17.
Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases.
For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host.
